Excellent Source for Commentaries

"Literature Made Easy" literally makes literature easy to understand. In the "Great Expectations" version from this series, the reader is presented with a short plot summary, paragraph-sized descriptions of the characters, multiple theme analysis, several visual aids about the language structure, and then short chapter-by-chapter commentaries. I wasn't 100% pleased with this study aid because it didn't review the plot as much as I would like, but it has strength in the commentaries. There is a lot of analyzing, along with graphs and charts about the story line. One thing that I found in this study aid that wasn't in others was the glossary section, which sums up the difficult vocabulary words found in "Great Expectations". I would recommend this aid accompanied with the Monarch study aid version if you are struggling with the book Great Expectations. I give this study guide 4 stars, 5 if there was more detail about the plot. If you are looking for a study aid that analyzes the plot frequently, you should try this book (and this series) because 95% of the book is that.
